Happy Father’s Day

Having Rests on Giving

Life is for Giving and You Are the Gift!

Giving is Receiving.Are you receiving the gift of giving?
Do you give what you wish you had?
Are you giving what you want to share?

When we give from a needy place, we increase our experience of needing to get.
When we give from a fulfilled place, we fully appreciate the joy of giving, needing nothing in return.
When we give expecting the other to express gratitude, we are needing them to approve of our giving.
When we give because we have been asked, we can give remembering we are giving to ourselves.

Whatever anyone asks, give it…unless it does harm to him or to you.” ACIM

When we give because we believe they need, are we not teaching them they are needy?
When we give because we celebrate their Wholeness, are we not teaching them they are whole?

When we give because we feel sorry for their plight, are we not confirming their lack and limitation?

When someone asks something from us, can we not give to them as though they are ourselves?
When we give to someone who is asking, can we simply share with a brother in the family of man?
When we give to another who has made a request, do we honestly confirm it will do no harm?
When someone asks, is it not better to listen within for what will be best rather than support lack?



Charity is valuable and healing, when given with love and respect.
Contributions serve well, when given with full appreciation and open-mindedness.
Handouts feel respectful, when we have honored and acknowledged the Good in each recipient.
Let us give consciously with an affirmation that all be used wisely and well for the Highest Good.
 

When someone asks time, money, energy and resources, I listen to what I am teaching.
Do I teach them to do for themselves or do I do it for them?
Do I clarify exactly what is really needed or do I quickly give what is asked so I don’t feel guilty?
Do I love myself and the other with the same love and respect, or do I apease their neediness?

There is no reason to withhold Love.
Withholding my Love, shuts down my thoughts, feelings, creativity, health and prosperity.
When I am withholding Love, I hurt myself.
When I extend my Love and Peace, I am healing us all.

Giving to those who give to us expands the giving for all.
Sharing freely what we have benefits everyone on the planet.
Unconditionally giving includes sharing wisdom, listening, affection, companionship and helpfulness.
Unconditional Love comes from those who clear all blocks to Love through continuous forgiveness.

Let us Love our fathers and Our Father.
Right or wrong, good or bad, it matters not.
Let us remember that to Love heals everyone.
When they are healed with our Love and forgiveness, we are healed with them.
And this is Good. This is God.

Loving everyOne, when we wholly love even One,
Betty Lue
